Novus Nexus Launches “No-Risk” Pilot Programs

Novus Nexus makes available no-risk simulation automation Pilot Projects. This program gives any organization interested in the automation of their simulation tasks and workflows, or even simulation democratization, the possibility to test and ensure that the prospective automated processes work reliably as intended before having to make larger commitments, the company reports.

“We hear a lot how difficult and time-consuming it is to automate simulations and all that goes into it. But what frustrates people the most is that after all that effort, those automations are often not robust enough for their more complex geometries,” says Bruce Webster, CEO at Novus Nexus. “Novus Nexus uses a different, easier approach—rather than try to automate what a human would do to click through an entire simulation process, we simply configure an abstract model, which one could think of as a geometry independent simulation template, and then relate it to simulation ready CAD models.

"Solver input decks, including the mesh, and basic reports are directly created by CAENexus, our automation-processor, which has proven to be a game changer," Webster adds. "Thanks to the easy automation by CAENexus we can offer interested parties a no-risk pilot program to validate automation robustness without up-front investments.”

From “Proof-of-Concept” to Automated Simulation

The goal for Novus Nexus pilot projects is to validate the robustness of the intended automation with a variety of real-world CAD models and demonstrate the benefits of such automation, the company explains.

To achieve this, customers select a use case they want to automate and supply a typical CAD model, while Novus Nexus prepares a CAENexus automated process for testing at the customer site. This first proof-of-concept phase will always be executed free of charge. Based on user feedback and experience gained during the on-site tests, final requirements can be defined and implemented either by the customer or Novus Nexus.
